A copy of the diary of US President Joe Biden’s daughter has reportedly been confirmed as genuine. The FBI has raided multiple homes as part of an investigation into its alleged theft, media reported. The FBI searched the homes of two Project Veritas employees on Thursday, according to several outlets. The raids, which were first reported by the New York Times on Friday, came a little over a year after conservative outlet National File published the entire contents of what appeared to be Ashley Biden’s diary. While Project Veritas insisted it had nothing to do with publishing excerpts in October 2020, it has nevertheless apparently been implicated in the alleged “theft” of the 40-year-old’s diary.
Appearing at multiple former and current employees’ homes, the FBI delivered a subpoena complete with cover letter pleading with Veritas to refrain from “disclosing the existence of the subpoena to any third party… in order to preserve the confidentiality of the investigation,” Project Veritas founder and CEO James O’Keefe said in a video message on Friday, accusing the feds of trying to “silence” him.
The case is being handled by the FBI and the Justice Department’s Southern District of New York division, namely agents and prosecutors focused on public corruption, sources briefed on the matter told the Times.
National File claimed to have received the digital copy of the diary that it published from a Project Veritas whistleblower, but insisted that they were told that the diary was not obtained by criminal means. The whistleblower reportedly told National File that the diary was “left at an address where Joe Biden’s daughter used to stay.”
While O’Keefe’s organization – a conservative-leaning muckraking outfit – had refused to publish the diary, they did claim to know where it was located and even alleged to have an audio recording of Biden herself admitting it was hers. In his video on Friday, O’Keefe said that the group was approached by tipsters who stayed “temporarily” in the same hotel room as Biden’s daughter, claiming that she “abandoned” the diary.
O’Keefe said that PV had turned the diary over to law enforcement after first reaching out to Ashley Biden’s attorney, who “refused to authenticate it.” O’Keefe said that he contacted the Department of Justice on his own volition and “conveyed unassailable facts that demonstrate[d] Project Veritas’ lack of involvement in criminal activity and/or criminal intent.” The group said it opted not to publish the diary because it couldn’t verify its contents or whether it truly belonged to Ashley Biden.
Despite initially adhering to the agency’s wishes – according to O’Keefe, at least – the FBI visits were followed up shortly by a call from a Times reporter demanding comment on the legal process.
The FBI declined to confirm the raids, telling the Times that they “performed law enforcement activity related to an ongoing investigation” at two addresses without elaboration.
While Ashley Biden’s diary is bristling with potential bombshells – including repeated discussion of drug use, marital failure, multiple affairs and her issues with her father, whom she claimed to have showered with in situations that were “probably not appropriate” – the document was largely ignored by other conservative outlets and mainstream media. The diary also suggested that the younger Biden was sexually molested as a child.
The American Stasi don’t want it known that the President is a pedophile.
Why is the FBI involved in a private diary? Theft or not.
If your neighbor stole your daughter’s diary would the FBI get involved??
This is a private civil matter at best.
Just to juxtapose here. Let us do a thought experiment. Let’s say, for example, Donald Trump was showering with his young daughter. Let us further say that she had a diary. Now, do you suppose the thrust of the story would be on the ‘theft’ of the diary? Or do you think that the focus would be on the lurid details? I leave it to you to complete this assignment on your own at home...
Just last week a Federal Judge ask the Biden administration to delay the vaccine mandates. The answer was immediately no. So why should anyone even entertain the government’s request from “disclosing the existence of the subpoena to any third party.

Is it the diary or is it because of the video of poll workers violating the voter laws?
The diary is an excuse to shut down PV.
FIB = American Stasi.
Just keep voting.
So multiple FBI are swooping in on a possible case of petty theft of a girl’s diary?
But no one cares it says the president is a pervert.
Anything to protect the Pervert-in-Chief.
“The American Stasi don’t want it known that the President is a pedophile.”
Back when I was involved in classified projects (such as the Monitor and the rotating turret) there was a rule. If there was a legitimate leak, never acknowledge it. Just shrug and keep on trucking. The whole thing would die on its own.
The worst thing you could do is acknowledge how dangerous a leak was by reacting to it. Nothing guaranteed exposure of classified information like going ape-shit over the fact that it was out there. It’s not like by reacting to it you could somehow take back the fact that the information was there, and, now, verified because of your reaction to it.
Had the administration called, “Hey, fake news” then it’s likely the whole thing would be forgotten about by this time next year. Major blunder.
The Clinton administration maintained a “bimbo eruption” team that would move in and handle any crisis. It consisted of lawyers, PR people, detectives, literally anyone who could help discredit or erase the facts. Whatever happened to the incredible sophistication the Dems used to have?
More widely known, you mean.
I haven’t read one word of the diary, I’d just wondering. How old did Miss Biden say she was when the alleged shower took place?
Of course..they will do ANYTHING to protect Biden since they all voted for him. Now I remember a time where the commie media would demand resignations, demand investigations, impeachment hearings, if the president of the united states used the feds to do his bidding..to cover up a CRIME which is child molestation..but hey no worries, Biden is a Dem so its fine and dandy
They only get away with all of it because we keep re-electing Assistant Democrats instead of an actual opposition party.
On the lips.
That seals the deal for me. He's a Pedo!
Does anyone know just who and what this "RT" outfit is that published this article?

TONIGHT did a sketch having DJT having sex with his young teen daughter as a ‘joke’.
